Profile
Passionate medical researcher. A huge advocate of personalised medicine and a big supporter of the on-going revolution that is transforming 21st century health and healthcare with the use of genetics/genomics and IT-based solutions.
I have conducted pioneering research with an inspiring team of Swiss-based scientists and international colleagues on the implementation of genomics into clinical practice (T3/T4 translational phase). Lynch Syndrome, a hereditary condition that predisposes to colorectal and endometrial cancers (as well as other malignancies) is a classic example, and is currently being investigated as proof-of-concept (link).
I have also acted as an external expert in a European Consortium focusing on real-world data analyses, and collaborated with a team of experts who have developed a shared decision support tool for patient empowerment. The aim was to understand the complexity of patient comorbidities and assess their multi-faceted impact on clinical management and quality of life.
